Hey! First I like to say CONGRATS!!!:yeah: I got accepted into Gwynedd Mercy College also. Can't really offer you much advise, but I hear the way to do well in nursing school is to study, know how to critically think, when aswering nursing questions choose the BEST answer, and don't pull to much of your hair out when doing those "wonderful" careplans. I hear anything else I'll let you know. Again congrats, and see you in the Fall!!

Hi,

I am also accepted to the fall 2010 class and am very excited to start:yeah:. I actually spoke to a student currently in the program its her second semester and she said the first semester is hard but the program is doable. She did say they lost five people because it was alot more than what they thought. She worked full time and said the program was definitely doable. I am looking forward to meeting you guys. Did you send in your seat deposit yet? How many students are they accepting? When did you apply? I applied last August the program was full so I got into this class. What have you heard about the program so far? Talk to you later:D

I am working very hard now so that I do not have to work while I am at GMC. I want to make sure I do well and do not fail out. I am on this site everyday and I hear horror stories about nursing school. I hear great things about GMC. I am very excited to get started. I know it is going to be hard work. I did not send in my deposit yet. I am not sure how many people are accepted. I applied back in September and found out in December.

You are same as me in regards to not sending in deposit yet I also applied last september. I have heard horror stories to. Did you consider accelerated bsn programs? Like Drexel or UMDNJ? I am also accepted to UMDNJ its a 14 mo accelerated bsn program. My only gripe with GMC is that the amount of time it takes to get your asn degree (2 years) you can do an accelerated program. Plus you still have to go back for BSN eventually if you want to progress. I hear some hospitals arent even hiring asn nurses a girl from gmc said that. She said she is in a nursing home right now to get experience then will try to apply to hospitals again. I am so torn but have to decide soon deposits are coming due.

Have you been accepted elsewhere?

Hi, I'm hoping to be accepted to the fall 2011 asn program. Right now im still in high school. My school had a trip to tour gywnedd and I'm certain thats where I want to be. I was hoping you guys could tell me what kind of sat scores they are looking for? I'm taking them next week and I'm horrible at math so maybe if you guys could tell me what kind of grades and gpa's they are looking for I could make a goal and figure out if I have to take them again. Also if they want alot of extra ciriculum courses? This would help me soo much! Thanks for any advice.

I am a transfer student so I am not exactly sure. If you got on their site it is under admissions. It tells you. I think it is one of the most reasonable schools in the area to get into. If you apply early and have good grades you'll get in. I think they are looking for 2.5 and higher. Nursing students you need a least a 3.0. Grades are important. Grades are everything once you hit college. I do a lot of community service so that helps too (sometimes, grades you get more scholarships. At least this is what I am noticing).

I received the Presidential Scholarship which is 8500 a year. This is for every year if I keep a 3.2 GPA. I am praying I can keep my GPA up.
